Gourmet Meal at Home

 Good morning,

We have seen some outstanding meals prepared on cruise ships lately, but this is one made right here at home.  

Catherine prepared a wonderful filet mignon dinner and Kjell made the steak sauce.  

 The steaks were grilled to rare perfection.

 The spinach salad made the whole thing healthy!

 This is Kjell's version of hollandaise sauce.  It was soooo good!

 Bacon for the potatoes, of course.

And, perfectly baked potatoes.

We didn't need any dessert.  If we had had dessert, we wouldn't have been able to eat it!

Thank you, family!  This was great!

Love you all!

Loaded Baked Potato ala Catherine

 
Good morning,

This was a meal in itself.

Catherine made loaded baked potatoes.  This is just HALF of a potato and was nearly more than I could eat.

Yum!

What a great Fall meal.

All the best,

Lois

Baked Cod Soup ala Kjell

 Good morning,

Instead of making this soup in a soup pot, Kjell makes this in a casserole dish.  The cod bakes perfectly and all the flavors blend. 

 It's a thick soup and oooooooh, so good!

Enjoy!

Beautiful Moon

 Good morning,

The moon was so beautiful when we took the pups out for last call recently.

 We had somehow missed it in the news, but later that night we had an eclipse of the moon.  Catherine was still at her office and texted asking if Dad was outside gett6ing pictures, but we were already in bed.

 There were many images of the eclipse on line the next morning.  

So pretty!

All the best,

Lois

Chops Lunch - Ovation of the Seas

 Good morning,

Sometimes a special steak burger and fries is just right for lunch.

Chops Grille is a specialty restaurant aboard Ovation of the Seas.

Thanks, Erica, that looks great!  I'm now on my way to the kitchen to make some lunch....

All the best,

Lois

Giovanni's Kitchen - Ovation of the Seas

 Good morning,

The specialty restaurants aboard RCCL ships are fantastic.  Today's images are from Giovanni's Italian Kitchen aboard Ovation of the Seas. 

 This is Spaghetti Carbonara and...

 ...this is Tiramasu for dessert.

Oh, my, that looks so good!  Thank you for the images, Erica!

All the best,

Lois

Izumi Restaurant Aboard Ovation of the Seas

 Good morning,

Here is something I haven't seen at Izumi Specialty Restaurants aboard Royal Caribbean ships before:  pretzel sticks.  They look delicious! 

 Oh, and these treats are always special.  California Roll.

 Thank you, Erica, for sharing your images!

Yum!
